The interface consists of a table view of all Forest objects in the scene with a row for each object and a column for each of the commonly used rollouts. Each rollout is represented by a Label which displays relevant information and also acts as a button to take you to the modify panel so that you can edit the object's parameters. Forest Lister's layout can be customised to show only the columns you need and change their order, for example for still images you may want to hide the Animation column as it's not required, in this way the interface can be customised to suit your individual workflow.

Procedures

To select a Forest object using Lister

To select a Forest object using Forest Lister you have 2 options, either:

Highlight a Forest object by activating the Selection Marker in the first column and then click .

To pick multiple Forest objects using Selection Markers

Forest Lister allows you to easily select multiple Forest objects using Selection Markers. These are the buttons in the first column that are highlighted blue when clicked to indicate a Forest object has been selected. You use markers with the following mouse and keyboard combinations:

Ctrl + Left Click to add Forest objects to the selection.

Alt + Left Click to remove Forest objects from the selection.

Right Click to clear the current selection.

Left Click and then Shift + LeftClick to to select a range.

Click to select all Forest objects in lister.

Click to deselect all currently selected objects.

Marking objects in the lister does not automatically select them in the scene. To select marked objects, click the button.

To edit a Forest object's properties

Click any Label. Forest Lister automatically selects the Forest Pack object and takes you to the relevant rollout in the modify panel.

To edit multiple Forest object's properties

In this release it is only possible to batch modify the Enable/Disable, Hide, and Display Mode properties. In future releases we will extend this function to include other parameters.

Use Selection Markers to highlight the Forest objects you intend to edit (see above). There's no need to select them in the scene, they only need to be highlighted in Forest Lister.
